I think this can contribute to lag. If you have a bunch of numbers jumping around that just adds to graphics demand and could cause more lag

IMO

So did the bar at the top(for targeted mobs). Im just glad you can turn it off, I dont really need it, and the oversized numbers are REALLY annoying. Those should be an option for someone with a minor vision impairment, but not a permenent thing.

I love it, way more clear. and graphics demand =/= lag, lag is when it takes too long reaching the server's, causing skills and things you do not to register properly.

The trolls gained a new skill with the update called Mesmerize You “Look at the pretty numbers my precious! Forget what you are doing and look at the pretty numbers!”

LOVE THEM ANET!! Please if you have to do something about them..just make an option to remove them, do not take them away from the game. There are some people that like the new numbers and you will statisfy all if you just make an option in the interface menu to take them away.

Two words come to mind when I play now. Well more than two words, most of them not pleasant atm but as far as this subject goes.

INFORMATION OVERLOAD!!!!

Its tough as shit to concentrate on any tasks when you play now as you have way too much information popping up on the screen and try as you might you cant ignore it.

HA calling became more difficult because my mind(even though I tell it not to) looks at all the new pretty POPUPS. The numbers are huge, then you have the skills popping up by the numbers doing the little look at me dance, then you have the bar to the side showing what hit you, which already was shown for you in midscreen. Freaking A. Way too much stimulus in an already intensely stimulating area.

Let's just say eoe bombing grawl was fun with the new changes.....distracting fun.

Snakelet · Oct 26, 2006, 05:43 PM // 17:43

I think another problem with the new numbers is that they are gradient filled and that sometimes makes them very hard on your eyes...they sometimes mix into the environment :S which is hard to believe seeing as they are so large :P

The Pointless · Oct 26, 2006, 05:54 PM // 17:54

If you ask me, it looks easier to read, but then again, I haven't seen it in action, because I'm still waiting for the DL to finish

ectospasm · Oct 26, 2006, 05:57 PM // 17:57

BIG NUMBERS ARE AWESOME
NOW I CAN SEE THEM WITHOUT SQUINTING
AND ALSO I LOVE SEEING HOW MANY X7 JAUNDICE GAZE AND X5 FETID GROUND ARE BEING STACKED ON ME BY THE ROTS WHILE CHEST RUNNING

nice addition

Oct 26, 2006, 06:11 PM // 18:11

wow i play at 1920x1200 and they are friggin huge =-(

yet another reason to postpone my purchase of nf. if this isnt fixed with the numerous other crap features/bugs i will be going elsewhere.

KurtBatz · Oct 26, 2006, 06:23 PM // 18:23

I absolutely HATE and DESPISE the new numbers

PLEASE for the love of GOD give me an option to turn them off!

Akasha Kyham · Oct 26, 2006, 09:06 PM // 21:06

Same here....I want less on my screen, not more. Would prefer to have a choice to turn the numbers, and especially the mini spell icons OFF!!

Tozen · Oct 26, 2006, 09:07 PM // 21:07

I LOVE THE NEW CHANGE.

It feels like I'm doing so much more damage now!

Oct 26, 2006, 09:19 PM // 21:19

/sigh

i really hope they give us an opt out in options panel, cause its just to big

the numbers are half the size of my char.

Amity and Truth · Oct 26, 2006, 09:20 PM // 21:20

It will take some time to get used to but it is not that bad.
But i really love the index of what enemies have thrown at you. I was solo'ing in the fissure and the spiders managed to get like x500 Called Shots until the counter resetted because there were only a few of them left

Havre Fras · Oct 26, 2006, 09:26 PM // 21:26

As much as I hate the massive numbers I DESPISE having the little skill icon instead of the skill name.

Ebony Shadowheart · Oct 26, 2006, 09:32 PM // 21:32

The numbers are a bit LARGE and I have my interface size set to 'small' with a 1280x1024 resolution. I have numbers everywhere while MMing. It gets kind of hard to not be distracted when you have red, green, blue, and purple numbers flying around like made. I'll also agree that these numbers are rather cartoonie, which truly made me laugh. I was fine with the old pop ups, but I guess I could adapt to these of they would just make them a little SMALLER. Or give us the option to make them smaller. The list of how many times I've been hit with what gets a little annoying though; someone said you can shut that off? Please share, I haven't went hunting for that yet.

Agree, I hate the size and cartoony look of the new numbers!!!

Kayla Slays · Oct 26, 2006, 09:34 PM // 21:34

I don't really have an opinion about the size of the numbers yet. But I love the Damage Monitor! That what the... How did I just die.... feeling. Well now you can see it. Also when 55-ing Hydras outside Augry, I could see how many of them had dropped Meteor without counting. That helps when I'm farming half asleep
